a decade ago an
overflow of hope
in 18 days president hosni mubarak has
gone
after three decades in power

and in the following years egypt go
through
extreme political upheavals
but what has become of the big dream of
a free democracy
egypt's current military-backed
president abdel fattah
sisi is referring here to the january
revolution
he sees it as the cause of many of
egypt's political and economic rules
[Music]
but for protesters like muhammad the
revolution
is not to blame he fled egypt after
spending a few months in jail for taking
part in an
anti-government protest

in 2013 mr sisi then a minister of
defense
led the military's overthrow of muhammad
morsi
an islamist who became the country's
first democratically elected president
mr morse's ouster came following mass
protests
against his rule and since president
sisi came to power
human rights groups have warned of tens
of
thousands of political prisoners but the
government
has always denied that
for mr cece's supporters he simply saved
the country
the
but many human rights defenders would
disagree
some of the most prominent campaigners
are either
jailed banned from traveling or have
their assets frozen
journalists are not in a better place
egypt ranks as one of the world's worst
jailers of journalists
more than 30 journalists have reportedly
been sent behind
bars so far
khali del belshi has co-founded three
news websites
all of them have been shut down hundreds
of websites are either
blocked or censored here the authorities
say
they spread false news

the 2011 uprising will always be a
reminder of a strong call for a change
but freedom now seems to be a far away
dream
even the face of tahrir square has
changed
repainted with sparkling lights
but many homes have dimmed
and protesters are not welcome anymore
